[Attempt at classification and orientation of prescriptions using an index of psychotropic drugs in computers]

We designed a method of rational classification of psychotropic drugs belonging to neuroleptic class. Standard profiles were determined along BELSON'S Method (partially modified). Neuroleptic population is analysed according to two leading variables : desinhibiting action and powerful sedative action. The remaining variables are graded depending upon their binding with leading variable, we called them explanatory variables. Profile of drug is found along these explanatory variables. Results are set out with : list of decomposition with clauses, list of variables selected by method, dichotomic graphic, identification of drugs. Our purpose is to find objective tests, for classification of these therapeutic drugs. It must enable a best evaluation of indications and contra-indications, practice in every day.
